Mushroom soup recipe | Mushroom barley soup

Vegan mushroom soup is just delicious. All you need for a cold winter night. Dairy free soups are perfect when you want to eat light and eat right. You can add some barley to it or add some wild rice and have a complete meal. I love to have some carbs along with soups generally. Hence, adding some cooked rice or barley makes me happy.

I love having soups in winters. Melbourne weather is mostly cold and rainy as autumn sets in. This recipe is perfect for it. It is light and full of umami. You can also make it creamy as a variation by adding coconut milk if you like creamy soups instead of stock based ones.

If you do not have access to barley or wild rice you can use any other cooked rice like jasmine, brown rice or black rice. This way you can use any other rice variety too which you may not use in daily meal prep. Thus, you get other nutrients too. Bonus, good for weight-loss! Win-Win!
